What is a Placebook?

The Placebook is a book written by the Battersea Power Station Development Company to lay out the strategic thinking behind Battersea Power Station.

It takes a close look at mixed-use development and explores how people will want to live, work, shop, play, learn and connect, while presenting an original take on how to evolve a derelict piece of industrial infrastructure into a flagship example of placemaking fit for the 21st century.

The creation of a unique place requires a unique approach. The Placebook has been written to serve not only as a foundation for everyone involved but also sets out what we are going to do on site and explains why people will want to come to Battersea Power Station.
